As she walked, the jade pieces on her dress clinked against each other, making a sweet and exquisite sound. It made the originally solemn Princess Zhou look more lively and lively as a girl should.

"Master, you are here! I have arranged everything!"

In today's palace, apart from the emperor and the queen, the most untouchable ones are Xiaojiu and Shisan.

Without him, these two are too rich!

When Emperor Zhou agreed to open Tiandi Bank, he did not expect that 20% of the shares in Tiandi Bank could generate such profits.

"See the Ninth Princess!"

The guard at the prison gate immediately saluted Xiaojiu when he saw him.

Xiao Jiu said to the maid behind him, "You can't get in here, so go to the Bamboo Palace first!"

The prisoner was placed on the outskirts of the Daming Palace. Normally, palace ladies would have exceeded their limits by coming here privately, so it was naturally impossible for them to enter.

Of course, if they follow Xiao Jiu, that's a different matter, but it's impossible to let them enter the workshop where they will be the supervisor.

Xiao Jiu's personal maid named Xia Yu, after hearing Xiao Jiu's words, she immediately replied.

"Your Highness, how can we leave His Highness here alone?! The maids should wait for His Highness outside the door!"

Xiaojiu waved his hand, "Master and I have something to do in the prison! I don't know how long it will take?! It's a waste of time for you to stand here, why not go back to the palace first!"

After saying that, Xiaojiu motioned for a few people to leave!

After saying that, he took Yang Qingyuan's hand and ran all the way into the prison gate.

Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Jiu at this moment. The dignity and elegance just now was really not suitable for a fifteen-year-old girl like Xiao Jiu. It is normal to be so lively now.

Yang Qingyuan became Xiaojiu's teacher when she was seven years old. Eight years have passed!

Xiaojiu and Yang Qingyuan have been together longer than their father, Emperor Zhou!

Yang Qingyuan also didn't realize that his disciple was already a tall and graceful girl!

When folk women reach this age, they can even talk about marriage!

After entering a courtyard, Xiaojiu and Yang Qingyuan were led by a guard to a room.

An old man with gray hair was drawing blueprints with his head down.

"Sir! The Ninth Princess and her friends are here!"

The old man was a little impatient at first, but when he heard about the Ninth Princess, he immediately cheered up and put down the drawing in his hand.

"Your Highness! I see you, Your Highness!"

After a hurried salute, the old man said, "Your Highness is here to give you that piece of black jade?!"

The vassal state of South Vietnam accidentally dug up a piece of unparalleled ink jade and offered it to the emperor as a tribute.

In order to make his internal funds more abundant, the emperor rewarded Xiaojiu!

Of course, Xiao Jiu was also very generous. With a wave of his hand, he transferred two hundred thousand taels of silver into the treasury!

Several jade carvers who were serving as supervisors heard the news, and everyone coveted this piece of ink.

Although jade carvers like them have no shortage of ordinary jade, top-grade jade is not something they can come across casually!

Xiaojiu used this as bait to get them to get the information Yang Qingyuan needed.

Whoever can provide accurate information will entrust this piece of ink to be carved!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, the jade carving master named Meng in front of me won out among the others.

"Master Meng, I made an agreement with you at that time! You can give Mo Cui the sculpture to you! But you have to exchange it for the information!"

Master Meng immediately said, "Of course! I, Old Meng, am not the kind of person who talks big! I must have found out everything before I dare to tell you, Your Highness!"

Xiaojiu did not ask in a hurry, but instead took Yang Qingyuan and introduced him, "Master Meng, this is my teacher."

Yang Qingyuan also bowed politely, "Young Qingyuan of Dali Temple!"

Old Man Meng spent most of his life carving jade in the general's prison, and he met many dignitaries!

Jade carving masters like them all eat royal food.

For example, Old Man Meng, although he is just a craftsman, he has reached the sixth rank and is a craftsman used by the emperor!

Occasionally, he would do some private work for some clan dignitaries. A young minister from Dali Temple was just like this in the eyes of Old Man Meng!

However, whether Mo Cui can get it depends on whether Man Man is satisfied or not, and Old Man Meng doesn't dare to rely on him.

"Your Highness! Mr. Yang! It's not convenient to talk here. Come with me to the side and talk in detail!"

Xiao Jiu looked at the messy drawings on Old Meng's desk and nodded in agreement. This place was indeed not suitable for conversation.

The three of them came to the side, and Yang Qingyuan still took out a pair of whale skin gloves and put them on!

Then he took out the fan and fan pendant.

Old Meng, who was confused at the side, thought that Yang Qingyuan put on the gloves because of his love for Bai Yu. He really recognized Yang Qingyuan's attitude!

People who like jade are good people!

Old Meng’s opinion is so simple and pure!

"Mr. Meng, please take a look. Do you recognize this fan and the fan pendant?"

Old Meng took the fan and fan pendant from Yang Qingyuan's hand, looked at it briefly, and then said.

"This fan and fan pendant are indeed made from the same piece of jade, and were carved by the same jade carving master!"

Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but confirm when he saw what Old Meng said so firmly.

"Mr. Meng, are you sure!?"

"I will never make a mistake!"

Yang Qingyuan and Xiaojiu wanted to get the reason from Old Man Meng.

"Because the fan pendant and fan bone are my favorite works!"

Yang Qingyuan, Xiaojiu: "..."

This old man Meng is really a maverick! He calls himself a master of jade carving. His skills may be good, but Yang Qingyuan is speechless for this kind of behavior!

"Look, you two!"

Old Man Meng pointed at the jade carving and said, "At the bottom of this fan pendant, there are seven bamboo leaves painted with it! There is also one on the inside of the third bone of this fan! This is my habit when carving jade! I will leave a small bamboo leaf in it.

!Carved with seven swords to indicate the author!"

It is not just Mr. Meng, but all famous jade carvers have this habit of leaving a personal pattern in an inconspicuous place. Firstly, it can indicate the author, and secondly, it also has a certain anti-counterfeiting effect.

"Since it was carved by an old gentleman, he must know who this thing belongs to, right?!"

Old Meng raised his head proudly, "I will never forget any artifact carved by my hands! This is a piece of Kunshan jade that Taizu rewarded Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying back then! I carved the main body into

A jade mountain! The remaining small piece of material is made into this white jade fan bone and fan pendant!"

"Sure enough, he belongs to the Duke of Ying!"

Yang Qingyuan murmured after hearing this.

Then Yang Qingyuan made another bow to Old Man Meng!

"Thank you, old gentleman, for clarifying my doubts!"

Old Meng waved his hand hurriedly, "No need to be so polite!"

Old Man Meng doesn't care whether Yang Qingyuan's etiquette is thoughtful or not. What he cares about is whether the piece of ink green promised by Xiao Jiu can be carved by him!

Looking at Old Meng's earnest eyes, Xiao Jiu immediately said, "Master Meng, don't worry! I've said what I said, and it's hard to chase after it! I will never break the contract! Since you did provide useful information, this piece of Mo Cui will naturally

I’ll give it to you to carve!”

Xiaojiu is not willing to break trust on such a trivial matter!

"Then it's settled! I'd like to ask Your Highness to come up with a rough carving object, and I'll start designing it too!"

When it comes to jade carvings, Old Man Meng's whole temperament changes!

"That jade carving is not small. You can carve the bones of two folding fans for me first!"

Xiao Jiu originally had his own plan, but after seeing the white jade fan bone that Yang Qingyuan had just left, he was immediately stunned and immediately changed his mind.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! Carving a fan bone is not in my eyes!"

After Xiaojiu promised to send Mo Cui from the palace immediately, he left with Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan and Xiaojiu had just stepped out of the prison gate. Before they had taken two steps, a figure stopped in front of Yang Qingyuan and Xiaojiu.

Without saying a word, the visitor struck Yang Qingyuan with a palm.

The swiftness of his movement is among the best among the masters Yang Qingyuan has ever seen.

Her palm power is also extraordinary. She can make twists and turns as she makes moves, and her palm power can also turn corners. It is very similar to the White Rainbow Palm Power, the unique skill of the Princess of the Western Xia Dynasty a hundred years ago.

But the person who came here didn’t seem to have any malicious intent, and he also had a sense of discretion in his actions!

Faced with such power, Yang Qingyuan pointed his finger like a sword and connected his fingertips.
